Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Alina starts her dance story from an early age with Flamenco and modern jazz, later focusing on hip-hop, jazz and salsa.

Her longest and fondest love affair has been Bellydance, which she has been studying and practicing for 17 years.

Her formation and style have been shaped by great teachers such as:Mardi Love, Sharon Kihara, Kami Liddle, Samantha Emmanuel, Jill Parker, Katarina Burda, Donna Mejía, Abigail Keyes, Lila Zellet Elías, Terry Walden, Heather Stands and Rose Harden, who have inspired her growth and evolution. She has trained intensively in several occasions with Zoe Jakes, Suhaila Salimpour and Carolena Nericcio directly at their studios in San Francisco, CA., U.S.A.

She has complemented her education with Classical Ballet, japanese Butoh, Contemporary dance, Hip Hop and salsa classes.

In 2009 she officially starts to teach Tribal Improvisation and Tribal Fusion Bellydance in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. Being the first to offer classes of both styles.

American Tribal Style® General Skills certified since 2010 and FatChanceBellydance®SISTER STUDIO since 2015, she has set a clear objective to promote and teach this beautiful art form in its original format. This is why she has carefully designed ATS® Intensive Formation courses incorporating all her knowledge and experience, which she has taught in Mexico and now in Spain.

Also Certified in Suhaila Salimpour’s Level 1 format, her mission as a Fusion Dancer is to constantly dig deep in human emotions, befriend them and transform them into organic dance in hand with great bellydance technique. Reason why she has designed various Tribal Fusion Courses and Intensives (such as her "Alquimia Tribal" formation) with the objective of inspiring and guiding dancers on their path to discover their own style, as well as finding their real creativity and expression.

With the goal of promoting both ATS® and Tribal Fusion Bellydance as art forms she's produced, taught and performed at various dance events in Mexico, in the United States, in Costa Rica and in Spain, always sharing her vision and work from the heart. Also making significant efforts to stay updated directly with the creators of ATS® and Tribal Fusion.

Her objetives remain the same: To always dance, to always share, to always promote community and tribe.
